Leila had an appointment with the vet today.  She was not pleased when her “sister”, Mela, did not get to come along for the car ride.  Leila was even more unhappy with the three shots she received to bring her current on her vaccinations.  You can see the displeasure in her eyes.

This shot was captured with the Leica D-Lux 4 point and shoot camera.  For Christmas, I received a nice leather case with a shoulder strap for it.  I have found it a lot easier to always be carrying a camera now.  It was a breeze for me to whip out the camera for a few pictures while Leila and I were waiting inside the exam room for the doctor to see her.

When I took the photograph, I saw the distracting cat poster in the background.  I thought that by using the smallest aperture possible, I could make the poster go out of focus.  Unfortunately, it was not the case.  Instead, I relied on a white vignette to bring the viewer’s attention back to the middle of the photo where Leila, my subject, is positioned.
